Genesis 1:31 (WEB), "God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day." This ending statement is made after each creative day. But on the Seventh day the statement of "there was evening and there was morning, a seventh day" is not made by Elohim Yahweh. Why? What's the meaning or implication of this? (India)

The seventh day is not yet finished. Mankind has been living through the seventh day.  As you noted, Yahweh uses, “there was evening and there was morning” at the end of each of the six creative days.  Yahweh blessed the seventh day, and He is now resting [...]

I'm in a church where the pastor controls everything. The pastor doesn't allow the leadership to make suggestions or contribute to church matters. There are no elders, no deacons and board. The leaders don't have any idea of how the church finances are managed. The pastor makes all the decisions and wouldn't allow anyone to question him. Is this biblical?

Without knowing the details, we feel unable to judge. However, the Bible does teach how a church should be organized. First, the congregation should study the structure of the New Testament church. All Christian members were responsible for selecting the leaders of the church. Congregations [...]

Which is the true system of worship? (Vanuatu)

Some believe Charles Taze Russell was the founder but this is an inaccurate historical gloss.  During C.T. Russell's life, the International Bible Students Association published the [...]

Jacob was a patriarch but his prayer did not save his sons except Joseph. Why? David was the psalmist but Solomon's name is not found among RIGHTEOUS people. Why? Samuel was a high priest but his sons were notorious?. Why?… If they couldn't save their own family members, then what was the use of being a prophet, patriarch, or high priest? So confused. (India)

These righteous men of old suffered grief and loss because some of their children did not follow God. Yet, when people are developed and matured through their suffering, they become compassionate, godly people.  These faithful ones will be rewarded on earth to become the [...]

What is the reason I should go to church?

How did Solomon apply his wisdom? (Ghana)

Solomon used God's wisdom to understand the natural world. 1 Kings 4:29-34 (NIV), “God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight…He was wiser than anyone else…and his fame spread to all the surrounding nations. He spoke three thousand proverbs and his songs numbered a thousand [...]
